I feel like I have daggers in my quads. I’ve been jelly-legged since I finished the workout, and I could hardly get out of bed this morning.

Good fun :joy:

Thursday, 6th of December
Some fluff

Did this in my hotel room in Singapore (great city) first thing in the morning.

Feet-Elevated Push-Ups:

  • 3x3+3+3+3 cluster ss 3x20 face pull-aparts

Each mini-set of 3 was performed every 15th second, with a pause in the bottom position between reps. This would actually make a pretty great chest finisher.

Hand-Elevated Push Ups:

  • 2x1+2+3+4 ss 2x20 face pull-aparts

This was performed as:
1 rep, 1 second pause at bottom
2 reps, 2 second pause at bottom
Etc.

Giant set:

  • 3x20 frog sit-ups
  • 3x30 frog pumps
  • 3x20 J Pulldowns w band

Bit of fun, not too strenuous but good enough

Saturday: 8th of December
Push Fluff

100 skips

I figured if I’m going to be doing loads of hypertrophy work I might as well do a Push/Pull/Legs while I’m here

Tempo Incline DB Press:

  • 32x6x6 EMOM

Tempo Seated DB Press:

  • 16x8x8 EMOM

Tempo Decline Skullcrushers:

  • 22x10x10 EMOM

Vince would be proud.

I quite liked doing EMOMs for one movement as an hypertrophy stimulus. Perhaps this will make it into my assistance protocol.

Tuesday 11th of September: PM
Conditioning

At the new hotel gym, which isn’t anywhere near as well equipped as the last one. DB up to 25, a couple of barbells and plates to about 100kg, but no racks and only a single stand-alone bench. There are also leg curl, leg extension, pull-down and shoulder press machines. This is still plenty for me to get some quality work in whilst I’m here.

Barbell Complex: 10 minute EMOM w 50kg

  • 3 RDL’s
  • 3 Power Cleans
  • 3 Front Squat

Probably had another 3-4 rounds in me, but still pleased with this session

Adding skipping sounds fun not !

Log is a brutal, brutal implement. I would list it up there as being worse or if not the same as burpees on my level of hatred. I refuse to ever include burpees. I only log because i have to

Looks like quite a solid session there! As usual your conditioning is really good
